I'm wondering if there is a color and/or exposure setting I may be using that could be adjusted. I can usually get a good exposure in lightroom but I would like to get the images correct out of the camera. Anyone familiar with the color settings that could be adjusted in a Canon 5D mark IV?

I was using a Exposure Compensation of -1/3 to -2/3 stop with good success. I think outside shots in bright sun are overexposed as well. I've underexposed some when outside. It may be more of an exposure issue.

I've been shooting with the Canon 5d Mark IV for a year now. It is a great camera and am glad to have made the upgrade from my 5D Mark III. I have noticed one issue the camera seems to have that the 5D Mark III didn't. That is skin tones, or the lack of. The 5D Mark IV seems to "blow out" lighter or pale skin tones. There seems to be a lack of detail or definition in light or pale skin tones. To correct this problem I have to underexpose the shot and fix in Lightroom. I prefer to have my photos correct right out of the camera. I might add, these are shots without flash. I have started using a circular Polarizing filter and that seems to have corrected the problem. Has anybody else experienced this problem with the Canon 5D Mark IV.

I've always felt that shutter speed = sharp photos. The faster the shutter speed the more likely your photos will be sharp and in focus. Of course there are a lot of other things that come into play in regards to sharp photos, but if your shutter speed matched your subject matter you have a better chance of getting sharp images. With that being said, I shoot shutter priority (Tv). IF I cant get the exposure correct with Tv, I switch to manual mode and set my Ap and Iso as well. Also, I shoot shutter peed because I am a firm believer in matching the focus length on my lenses with shutter speed. In other words, if you are using a lens with a max. zoom of "200" as in 70-200, your shutter speed should be at least 200/sec. There is a lot of information on the web on this and worth reading.
